BioWare earlier today announced some in-game pre-order bonuses for its highly-anticipated RPG Mass Effect 3. These bonuses are so far only available through Origin (EA's online service) and GameStop, and there isn't yet any word on whether Amazon or other retailers will see any of this type of content.

PC users who pre-order through Origin will get the AT-12 Raider Shotgun fires a large spread and has little recovery time in between shots.

The GameStop (also EBGames in Canada) exclusive pre-order bonus is the N7 Warfare Gear, which includes a Valkyrie assault rifle and Defender Armour, which ups both ammo capacity and damage, plus improves your health and shields.

Pre-ordering at either Origin or GameStop also nets the M55 Argus Assault Rifle.

Those who have already pre-ordered will still receive these bonuses.

In addition to the videos above, BioWare added some new gameplay screens (including with the bonus items), which you can find in our gallery linked below. Mass Effect 3 releases on March 6th of this year.
